In the cold, forested North-lands - redolent with the aroma of pine, shrouded in snow, and prowled by ice tigers and trolls - Ivvar seeks only to meet his newborn great granddaughter. Someone else has the same plan. Traversing the wilderness toward the infant's home camp, Ivvar must face the woman he once cherished and an ancient scourge of the chilly woodlands in a complicated dance of love and death. Ivvar's second chance at happiness - and his life - hang in the balance.
Author
J.M. Ney-Grimm lives with her husband and children in Virginia, just east of the Blue Ridge Mountains. She’s learning about zero-carb eating, container gardening, and the discounted benefits of getting vitamin D from exposure to sunlight. The rest of the time she reads Robin McKinley, Diana Wynne Jones, and Lois McMaster Bujold, plays boardgames like Settlers of Catan, rears her twins, and writes stories set in the magical realms of myth, fantasy, and the far future. Look for her novels and novellas at your favorite bookstore—online or on Main Street.
